How artex removal works in Crossbush
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Whether it’s coatings in the way of electrical work and structural work through coated ceilings, we deal with swirl patterns, textured walls and Artex ceilings and more.
In a village like Crossbush, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Common questions in Crossbush
Do you work near Arundel station?
Yes. Arundel station is about 0.5 miles north-west of Crossbush, and we cover both.
Could my house in Crossbush contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Crossbush can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

For businesses and landlords in Crossbush
If you manage or own a block in Crossbush, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Choosing the right option
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
